Special Ops Chief: US troops have killed 60,000 ISIS militants the past two years
Quote:U.S. military forces have killed 60,000 Islamic State militants over the past two years, according to a U.S. Special Operations Commander.
On Tuesday, while speaking at a defense conference near Washington D.C., Army Gen. Raymond Thomas said the figure is substantially higher than the one reported at the end of last year – when U.S. officials said they had killed 50,000 ISIS fighters.
“I’m not into morbid body count, but that matters,” Thomas said at the National Defense Industrial Association’s annual Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict conference, according to the Military Times. “So when folks ask, do you need more aggressive [measures], do you need better [rules of engagement], I would tell you that we’re being pretty darn prolific right now.”

It's a start. ISIS has probably killed and maimed 10x that amount during that time.
